2 peas challenge: I met my closest friend a long time ago. I was 12 and she was 13. She had moved to the neighborhood about 6 or so months after I did. Both of us were unhappy about it. I was from Long Island and she was from the Bronx and now we were in the middle of nowhere. Really it was Orange County now famous for the Choppers but to us back then that was the middle of nowhere. We've shared a lot of laughs and some tears. We live about 400 miles apart now but we try to talk once a month. I couldn't have asked for a better friend.
